MRS. FREDERICK HOLBROOK.

Harriet Goodlue Holbrook, wife
of Ex-Governor Frederick Holbrook,
died suddenly at Brattleboro, at a.
m. on Wednesday last. Her illness
was of about a hours duration, pri-
marily caused by weakness in the ac-
ton of the heart, but the end was
quiet and peaceful. She was the
daughter of Colonel Joseph and Sa-
rah Goodhue, born in 1917. She
married Frederick Holbrook January
10, 1885, and their golden wedding
was celebrated two years ago. Three
children were born to them, Franklin
F. of Boston, Col. VIM. c. of New
York city and John of Pennsylvania.
Her life was quiet and uneventful, a
woman of strong personality, excel
lent executive ability, energy and
force. A faithful aud pains taking
wife, an active and benevolent mem
Der of society, maintaining an active
and intelligent interest in public af
fairs and the community of her resi-
dence. She possessed that sturdy
appreciation of the fitness of things
which gave grace and dignity to her
conduct and carriage as the wife of
the chief executive of the state at an
exciting and critical hour of the ma
tons history. A devoted and loval
mother, whose children can most
truly call her memory blessed. Col.
Frances Goodhue and Mrs. William
X. Cune of her fathers family sur
vive. The funeral was attended in
the presence of a large concourse OF
people on Friday.

gentleman had a cask of Malmsey
sweet wine placed in an inner room in
his wine eel ar. lie was absent from
home for long time, and on his re-
turn ordered his butler to open the
wine for his guests. His establishment
may well be imagined when he was
informed that the entrance to
the room was closed by an enormous
fungus growth. An entrance was
forced by chipping the fungus with
an axe. The cask was found empty,
pressed against the ceiling, supporting
upon and surrounded by this yegeta-
BILE matter, which almost entirely filed
up the remaining space in the apart
mcnt.

WOMAN SUFFRAGE.

During the last few days there has been 8 good deal of stir caused by the woman suf- frage question. Both branches of the Maine legislature have failed to give the necessary two-thirds vote for the submission of a wo- man suffrage amendment to the constitution to popular vote. The bill by which it is proposed to confer upon women the right to vote at municipal elections has been defeated in the New York assembly by vote of 6S to 490. And the legislature of Rhode Island has formally voted to submit to the electors of Rhode Island at the coming spring elec- tion an amendment to the constitution granting to women, under the same condi- tions as to men, the privileges of the ballot.
 A limited kind of woman suffrage has been on trial in Massachusetts for few years, and it is instructive to see how it has worked. In that State women have been allowed to vote for school committees, 8 matter in which women are supposed to be especially interested. The number of wo- men registered as voters in 1881 was 3, ,349, and the number voting 1871; in 1884 the number registered was SITS, and voting 1,S96. In 1885 there was a great increase. The registered were 5.260 and those voting 3,227. This increase was chiefly in the counties of Suffolk and Middlesex. In Mid dlesex county there was some increase in the number registered in 1885, and an increase of fifty per cent. in the number voting, and there was further small increase in 1886. In the other counties the number of registered women voters was small, and of those actu- ally voting much smaller, and in most of them the number of each was much smaller
 in 1886 than in 1881. In Worcester county the number were in 1881: Registered, 37S; voting 155. In 1886: Registered, 337; vot- ing, 66. In Nantucket the women improved their privileges more fully than in any other county. There were 23 women to 442 men vot- CTS in 1885,o little more than five per cent. In Suffolk county there were about four and half per cent, in Middlesex about one and a half per cent, in Worcester less than half of one per cent.
 These figures indicate, if they indicate anything, that the women of Massachusetts do not greatly and generally appreciate the privilege which has been secured for them. Perhaps the women of Connecticut would do better, and perhaps not.

those poor Italians who are not enlightened. But when the Rev. Father Riviccio, with his ultramontsne views, commenced to calumni- ate the memory of the great Italian patriots, of those Italians who spent their lifetime in uniting the beautiful country which the sea and Alps surround, that country des- tined by the Almighty to be the harbinger of civilization, the place where the sacred fire of genius is kept; when the venerated name of the great philosopher and patriot, Mazzi- nj, the hero of two worlds, Garibaldi, the greatest of modern statesmen. Cavour, was misrepresented;. when the mouth of the Jesuit in question was opened not to preach Christian doctrine, but to ealumniate the ideal of every true Italian, cry of indigna- tion was aroused and their influence was bent to chastise the arrogant and anti patriot Jesuit by ignominiously discharging him.
 In regard to the contemptible writer that in his great Catholic zeal does not hesitate to insult an entire colony, I am sorry that we are in a country where some gentleman can not make him smart for his viIlainous auda- city by giving him a severe lesson.

C0mmUNICATIONs.
The Italian Colony Defended,

To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 Allow me to answer through the columns of your impartial paper some statements which appeared in the Morning News issue of March 9th.
 In reading the venomous insinuations that were published in the insignificant "Morn- ing News'' 8 smile of contempt has curled my lips, but upon second thought resolved to answer the frothy calumnies.
 If the Italians are distinguished it is not for their Mongolian rates of wages, as the writer pretends, but for their genius, indus try and sobriety. If some of the Italians work at low rate of compensation it is necessity that oompels if.
 In coming here the majority are penniless and friendless and unacquainted with the habits and customs of this country, They cannot advocate their rights. Are they guilty if they live economically, and according to their scanty meanss Is it crime if they prefer a cheap reccompense to utter misery? Answer me, most valiant knight of priestly affairs.
 Credit they do deserve if through their parsimony they manage to save few dollars in order to provide for emergencies and not to be burden to the community by going to the almshouse if unoccupied or to the hos pital if sick as other foreigners do.
 Yet they are peculiar. They differ from other Immigrants" because they do not pat ronize the "rum shops' and spend in de- bauchery their hard earned money and let their children starve
 Now few words on the subject of their spiritual father. The intelligent part of the Italians here residing never dream of send ing for priest. They have had enough of Catholicism. I mean that Catholicism which in the centuries gone by was the plague of their country. And if they tolerate a Jes- uit among them it is only to accommodate

 The bill defining the powers and privileges
 of electric companies which has been intro duced in the legislature of this State is an important one. It provides that no electrical light or power company may hereafter organ ize and have the privilege of using the public streets or grounds in this State, except by special charter from the legislature. All ''wire'' companies heretofore or hereafter organized shall exercise such power only un- der the direct supervision and control of the local authorities, with the right of appeal to judge of the Superior court; such super vision and control being limited by the right of the private individual to give or withhold his consent to the placing of wires or struc lures of any kind upon any highways or pub lie grounds adjoining his property. From his decision appeal may be taken to two county commissioners of that county. The expenses of such appeal, in all cases, are to be paid by the company. Upon the applica- tion of the State attorney, or any other party interested, all questions arising under the bill may be heard and decided by any judge of the Superior court, either as to orders issued or damages to be assessed.
